Dark Band 2008

"Dark Band," created in 2008 by Wolf Kahn, is a landscape painting that focuses on the verticality of a forest. The composition is divided into horizontal bands of color, with an orange and red band dominating the top. The artist uses loose brushstrokes to render the trees, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. The colors, like the yellow and green at the base, are muted, suggesting a time of year when nature is transitioning into a more dormant state. Kahn is known for his atmospheric landscapes, and this painting reflects his focus on the subtle interplay of light and color.
